I'm really hoping that Nizam's case was just atypical, but I guess you'll be the guinea pig Jes  |
All Ron's 75 Experience cars are very similar - no problems with wheel bearings. But, I'll keep an eye on the wheel bearings. BTW, I have run 17" and R-compound many times - nothing has changed on my front - no wheel spacers. Though, hopefully higher cornering-G (due to the added negative camber), so in that sense there will now be more load on the bearings. But, that is the purpose of changing the alignment - want to exit the turns carrying more speed.
Anything else Mr. Pessimistic?
